What Must I Do To Be Saved?
What is true today has always been true for humanity. It seems baked in to our nature to want to add things. To want to work things out on our own. We simply cannot fathom the reality that it is All In Him and is not of our own doing.
Can Christians have Tattoos?
What is crazy is that people are STILL asking this question! In balance, it’s also healthy that people are asking this question. I believe at the heart of most Christians is a desire to please God – and on the other side of the coin, there are others who use […]
The True Touch of Grace

The Three Reasons for Communion (Eucharist)
Communion, known traditionally as the Eucharist, is a traditional rite of remembrance from the Lord’s Supper, the last time of fellowship with His disciples before Christ embraced the suffering of His death. Many Christians practice this rite, and because Scripture gives no direction on how often to perform the rite, […]
The walk to Grace
That Grace IS, as notated in the Amplified Bible version quoted above, God’s unbelievable, and unmerited, unearned drawing, that isn’t warranted by any outward holiness, works or sacrament we perform, or pompous self-righteousness (that as best is as filthy rags to God) that we can do.

Are Legalists … Saved?

As noted in my previous article, “Forcing the Bible to say what it does not say”, I noted the comments of a person who said, “Grace is only applied (Ephesians 2:8) to an individual after they have performed the ritual seen in Acts 2:38.”
Sacrifice or Sacrament? When Grace isn’t Enough. Introduction to Galatians
Are you trusting in the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross for your redemption, or the self work of sacraments, ordinances, laws, formulas and rituals to get and stay saved? Does your pastor demand obedience to His Commandments, or only Christ’ commandments? Paul tells us exactly what we should trust in in the Book of Galatians.
The New Birth – Are Oneness Pentecostals/Legalists getting it wrong? Part #3 (Long)
The Oneness(Apostolic) Pentecostal denomination declares Acts 2:38 as the one and only true method of Biblical Salvation. Any other religious observation is null and void. Sincere, but sincerely wrong. Baptised in the literal Matthew 28:19 formula? You just got wet. Didn’t speak in tongues? You are lost. Not following Holiness […]
